Chelsea have set sights on Diant Raja as a goalkeeping option in the summer, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Bayern Munich also keen.
According to Bild, Chelsea are keen on Diant Ramaj as a new goalkeeping option and could ponder an approach in the summer. The Blues are set to change their keeper position and might seek a new star in that role.
Chelsea are interested in Diant Ramaj
Chelsea have added Diant Ramaj to their list of potential goalkeeping targets ahead of the summer. The Ajax star has had a decent season between the sticks, but he might welcome the distraction of the transfer links with a host of other clubs also keeping tabs.
Among the other clubs mentioned in the report, Chelsea’s name has been a surprise, considering what the Blues are looking for in a new keeper. The Blues are looking for a new stopper and may even sell the ineffective Robert Sanchez after a single season at Stamford Bridge, although the expectation might have been to target a much bigger name.
We suggested three potential options, including Porto’s Diogo Costa and Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale, although Chelsea are seemingly considering a surprise name in Ramaj. Some of the other clubs mentioned in the story might consider the 22-year-old Ajax star as a quality backup to their current first-choice stopper, which in Chelsea’s case is Djorde Petrovic.
The Chelsea deputy has performed well in Sanchez’s prolonged absence and does not appear in danger of getting sold in the next window. With the Blues entering the market for a new stopper, there needs to be an indication about Petrovic taking over the No.1 position, which makes the Ramaj links all the more puzzling.
Arsenal Manchester United are also looking at Ramaj
While the Chelsea links are unclear, the ones for Arsenal, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich make more sense. Ramaj has not had a season which would have attracted any of these clubs towards him, although his overall quality might make those sides view him as a solid deputy to their No.1s.
Arsenal, for instance, are expected to sell Aaron Ramsdale and might want someone of Ramaj’s ilk to play backup to David Raya. Similarly, Manchester United are unsatisfied with Altay Biyandir and could seek the 22-year-old Ajax man as a deputy to Andre Onana. The story remains the same with Bayern regarding Manuel Neuer.
